Google Analytics helps to understand your website's visitors and check the performance of your site.

Before you begin

At the moment, there are two types of Google Analytics properties:

  1. Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-XXXXXXX) – recommended

  2. Universal Analytics (Tracking ID: UA-XXXXXX-X)

For now, both types of properties are supported, but it's highly recommended to use Google Analytics 4, as the other one will stop processing data on July 1, 2023.

NOTE: For tracking scripts to work properly, make sure that a cookie banner is enabled on your website

Connect Google Analytics to Your Website

To connect Google Analytics to your website, you only need to know the Measurement ID of your Google Analytics 4 property.

Within the editor, open your website's integrations settings, find the Google Analytics field, and insert your Measurement ID there:
